Yathetha intombi nyomafrika kwavokoteka DEAR WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS Owing to this concept of Braai Day, I am forced to have this honest and somewhat uncomfortable conversation with you. I had hoped that since you have grown white people, they would teach you better…but they have not. Let’s start at the beginning……my dear white people, you are not descendants of this land called Afrika. Afrika has its own children that it has birthed and nurtures. It is written in the history books (which your people wrote) that you came from Holland, France, Britain, Spain…..all these are European countries. The moral of the story is….You are descendants of Europe. You are the children of Elizabeth, Hitler, Bismarck and others that built their legacy on stealing lands and making people slaves. Indeed this is not necessarily a history one would be proud of, but it is what it is, and you are now in a position to ‘Do Right.’ There are certain behaviours which provoke the hell out of Africans…..most of these issues are centred around your SELF importance. What is it about you white people that makes you think that your thoughts, ideas and existence is more important than other races? This confuses me because you did not build your own empires, we built them for you. You did not raise you own children, we did that for you. You did not stand up when the injustices of Apartheid were happening, we stood up for ourselves. The white liberals are now going to be up in arms, but in all honesty, white liberals did not have to carry Dompasses, they could go wherever they pleased and the very same white liberals benefited from white privilege. So tell me, ‘How do you know someone’s struggle…..when you have never struggled?’ GFOH You have been on this land for over 500 years and yet have been too damn arrogant to learn the language. In school, you make your children take subjects like French and German….How is French and German going to help you communicate with the majority black people of this land? My people can speak your European language and they don’t even live in Europe….you live in Afrika and you don’t know the language? With all due respect but that is Dumb as F*** When you white people speak to a group of black people why do you speak ‘stupid’ English? That thing where you talk down to black workers makes you look stupid. I don’t know if its ignorance, arrogance or a desire to be asked to go back to your lands which makes you disrespect our Heritage Day by calling it Braai day…but I can promise you that this concept is extremely provocative and may I remind you that you are in the minority. This racist concept of yours where you want us to erase our heritage will quickly lead to a ‘Zimbabwe’ situation……yes you know that situation where white people got chased off the land? Yes….THAT situation. Even in your own homes, if a guest had to disrespect how you do things in YOUR own house…you would ask them to leave. My dear white South Africans, my generation is not the apartheid generation. We do not have a psychological fear of white people. We were born in a time where we CHOSE to forgive you…don’t abuse our humility. Heritage day is a day where we celebrate the story of South Africa, the story of its people, cultures and traditions. It is a day where we celebrate African kings and queens who have ruled us and have given birth to our nations. It is a day where the African child hears their own story. The other 365 days of the year we are heavily inundated in white culture……24 September is the ONE day where we can be proudly black. How dare you downgrade a day of African Pride to Beers and a braai……… NISIQHELA KAKUBI……. We get it though……we get why you would rather have a beer and a braai than celebrate the military genius that King Shaka Zulu was…. It’s just that…when in AFRIKA…you do as the AFRIKANS. Qha ke Kind Regards Your rainbow nations counterparts Ntsiki Mazwai
